The Windows

作品描述

Windows is a series of paintings created between 1912 and 1913 by the French painter Robert Delaunay. The paintings are oil and wax on canvas, and they mark Delaunay's turn towards abstraction and interest in color. The fragmented compositions of colored shapes are prime examples of Delaunay's use of simultaneous contrast. The title Windows can be interpreted literally as an indication that the pictures represent views from windows, but it also may figuratively refer to the human eye as a window to the visual world.
